JAMES: we allow them to leave early. She is still being punished, Dad has her sleeping in the cells every night until Wednesday, and he has her cleaning them. I just changed it to her having to clean the worst of the cells, such as the torture cells.” I tell her. “Does she know that Trever is my mate?” She asked. I don’t know whether she knows or not, she asked me if I knew who his mate was, and I lied to her, I said no, I just knew that she was underage, and she was suspicious, of it being you or Mackie, and she was not happy about it.” I tell her. “Why are you telling me, it’s not like I have a say in what happens to her, I am just surprised that Father is actually punishing her.” She states emotionlessly. I am at a loss. I don’t know what to say to her, or how to comfort her, for what we put her through over the years. I can’t really stick up for Dad because he made his own choice to not ask her, and I made mine to not take responsibility, so now we both have to answer for our mistakes, and that’s if she’ll even let us. “I can’t speak to that, and I am sorry for the shit we put you through Kes, I really am, and I know I can’t take it back, but I can do better going forward.” I tell her. “You had better, or you won’t have the pack, understand I am not threatening you, but if Uncle Carson doesn’t like what he sees, he will take it back.” She says. I nod, understanding the truth of her words. I watch as I see her eyes glaze over. “Is there trouble?” I asked her. “No, Corla just wants some meat snacks.” She says. “Liam, why don’t you take Janica into the kitchen and show her around it, and bring out some snacks and juice for us.” She said to our little brother. “Sure. Come on, Janica, I will show you where the good stuff is kept.” He says as he takes her hand and leads the way into the kitchen.

JESSIE: I won’t accept that she could be his mate. I will teach her. I go into the kitchen and start to go through the cupboards, finding everything I need, I get to work I wash the arugula, basil, red ginseng root, the maca root and the white truffles and set about making a salad, I slice the roots thin, using the whole of the root, then I make up a dredge for the oysters, I take the ginseng root power, the maca root powder ashwagandha root powder mixed with a little flour salt pepper set it aside, I will fry the oysters tomorrow, and chop them up and then put them on the salad. I dress it with honey and balsamic vinegar. I cover the bowl and shake it up to coat everything. I then take Strawberries, I peel them, just using the red outer flesh and the seeds. Cherries, Figs, and Cinnamon, and make a smoothie. When I am done, I place everything in the back refrigerator. I plan on feeding it to Kes for the next 4 days, and by the time she is done eating all that she will be so frustrated that she will want to jump anything that walks, and if he truly is her mate he will have to take her, or she will literally jump anyone and then he will reject her too. I come back into the main part of the kitchen just as Liam and Janica come in from the pool. “Hey.” I say. “Hey.” They both say in unison. “What are you guys up to?” I asked. “James is having a meeting out by the pool, and he asked me to bring out snacks, so I thought I would show Janica where all the good snacks were kept.” Liam says. “Why is James having a meeting out at the pool?” “I don’t know, but that is where he is having his meeting.” Liam says. “What’s it about?” “I think pack issues, because of Star leaving, who might be Beta, that kind of stuff.” He says. “Oh, well, have fun.” I say as I grab an apple and head back to the marquee, and wait until I have to head back down to the cells. I get a link from Dad. “Jessie, come to my office.” “Yes, daddy.” I reverse my steps and head to his office.
DRAKE: I wait for Jessie; I hear the knock. “Come.” I call out to her. My door opens, and she comes in and closes it behind her. “You wanted to see me?” “Yes, I have spoken to your brother, and we have decided, we are changing your punishment. You will clean the torture cells in the morning, and when you shift, if or when your mate claims you, you will be able to leave early with him. Do you understand?” “Yes, daddy.” “Good, you will be taken back down to the cells at 11 tonight, and every night until you shift.” I tell her. She pouts at me, hoping to get me to change my mind. “I promise I will be good; I won’t do anything anymore; can’t I just stay in my room?” “No, you cannot, you thought it was funny that your sister had to spend a week in the cells, you are getting off easy, you only have a few nights in the cells, granted you have to clean them, but she had to work for 2 months for Mr. Rickman, consider yourself lucky that we are going to let you go when your mate claims you, and not tell him/her what you have done here.” I tell her. “Yes, daddy.” She says, sounding dejected. “You can go now.” “Yes, daddy.” She gets up and walks out the door.
JESSIE: Now for sure she is getting that salad, and I will top it with pumpkin seeds, Pomegranate seeds, sliced almonds, chopped walnuts, and I am going to put dark chocolate in it and ashwagandha root powder in that smoothie too. Bitch!
KESKA: Now that Janica is out of the way, Corla takes some of the pool water, about what would fill a 5-quart pail, and holds it over James’s head, then, splash, she lets it go. I couldn’t help but grin at that. The rest of the group burst out laughing at James. “What the?” “Corla wanted to see if you could take as good as you gave.” I tell him. “How is that even possible?” He asked. {I am elemental, I control water and fire. I will wait for your mate to see you all wet before I dry you.} She tells him. “Gee, thanks, Corla.” {Don’t be sarcastic with me, or you will stay wet for the rest of the evening, so long as I am near water, you will not be dry.} she tells him. “Sorry.” He says. I watch his eyes glaze over. I just wait. Liam and Janica come back out shortly with the requested snacks. “What happened to you?” Janica asked James. “Corla happened.” James says. “Who’s Corla?” {“I am Corla.”} My wolf says. {“I wanted you to see him all wet. I will dry him now.”} and just like with Liam that time, she takes all the water that is soaked into his clothes and pulls it out and puts it back in the pool. “Thank you, Corla, I will endeavor not to be sarcastic with you in the future.” James tells her. {“Welcome.”} She says. “She sounds strange.” Janica says, “I mean no disrespect to you, Corla.” She is quick to add. Corla pushes forward some so that James and Janica understand that she is in control here. {“None taken, they say that I sound like the human cartoon Scooby Doo, only in a female voice and tone, I do not know, as I have not heard this cartoon.”} She says. “Can we meet you?” Janica asked her. {“You have.”} She tells her. “I’m sorry, I meant to say, can we see you?” {“If I show you, you will need to keep me a secret. I will one day show myself to the pack, but I will not do so until Jessie is gone. I will not let her hurt Keska again.”} She tells them. “We understand completely.” Janica says. \[“I will shift and show them.”\] She tells me. So, I get up and go to the changing rooms,
